The Purple v Black Meet was a great
success. Special thanks to all the parents and volunteers
that helped to run the meet. The first meet of
the year is always a little hectic but this one ran very smoothly
and that is a large part due to the parents that helped volunteer
throughout the meet.

Congratulations to all the swimmers that
participated in their first swim meet. We had a large number
of kids swimming in their first meet with WAVE and they figured
things out very quickly and swam awesome. Nice Work!

Great job to all the swimmers that swam in the
meet. We had tons of best times throughout the day.
Their hard work and commitment in the pool is already paying
off. I am very excited to see everyone swim again in a few
weeks.

Lastly, Congratulations to the Black Team on
being this years’ 2nd place team. They
fought very hard but Purple squeaked out another win with a 9-6
victory.
